Adbusters



As a very left wing individual, i am very supportive of adbusters and their ideas.
i havent got a new issue for a while, but just found a selection of old ones and have been flickign through them. here's some designs that stood out for me.

Anuvver Flyaaa


This design is right up my street. totally hand done, very basic idea.
It does have a "done in school" sort of feel which is quite immature, but if it was for a night that was more my taste, i'd pop along in a second haha.

Scanned Darkly



This is a scan of my face and personality for Cheng's project.
such a cool idea and the overall image is dead cool too :)

Bright Eyes Videos





Both of these have some very interesting aspects. particularly the animation in 'at the bottom of everything' and the basic idea in easy/lucky/free.

Layering with Photoshop

During the photoshop brief, i strayed slightly from the style of my series in my investigations.
I was just playing with the layering effects and merging the photos i took..

The Best Iron Known To Humanity


I drew this for visual language but its probably the best line drawing ive ever done - im always just sketching and doodling!

Human pyramid


Ok, I know this isnt particularly relevant to anything but its a great photo that captures all of the 2 and a half seconds we managed to hold this completely spontaneous human pyramid at a folk punk show in durham over christmas.

Oooh, gig poster


I'm not sure who actually designed this, its hard to get in touch with my mate who would know as well, but this is a poster for a gig im playing in durham in a couple of weeks.

I like this style but its a bit miserable, obviously relating to the headline act's name. the use of clashing colours is reminiscent of Never Mind The Bollocks.

DIY NOT EMI


This is just function over image i guess. Literally just a sheet of paper folded around the cd. lush paper though! looks like its well travelled haha.




I really like the illustrations on Mike Park's CD. It reflects his personality perfectly - especially "bye daddy". It would have been interesting to see it with different colours though. i love that someone over the pond printed the artwork by hand as well!
